hell, half the time, Wags says he won't be there, 50% of the time, we don't really care...the other third, we don't know if he made it or not...
Only missed one Gilligan and that was due to illness. Bet you was glad your wife finally left so you could drink. Was the bang the Skipper's differential cratering?

What ! ?
No explosions, injuries or bloodshed ?
That doesn't sound at all like the F & F parties I remember.

Being serious for a moment,F&F will always mean a lot to me.
I'm not a real social person,more a 1 on 1 person..but this gathering gave me the chance to meet people that I'd 'talked to" on the net for years.This may sound stupid,but meeting people face to face after reading posts is a big eye opener,kinda like seeing someone that you listen to on the radio for the first time.Get an image in your head,then totally blown away seeing them and interacting.
Greg and burrhead were my basement room mates(O.K. set ya'll up here),but was nice to go somewhere and have a drink without worring about driving-the snoring was another matter.:)
Anyway,a big hats off to Tim for doing this,and all the other chairitable contributions Tim has done.Also for hosting this for however long it goes on.Also his beautiful wife ,kids,and stepkids,any grandkids yet?
Outside of my own family,this was something I always looked foreward to.
RIP Tigerstripe also,one of a kind!Spent many of days with him and Carole,and always heard some good stories-but it took about 2 hours to tell!

I AM a fairly social critter.
I damn near always drank too much, ate too much and laughed too much. ( not that I cared at the time )
No doubt it was a great party. It always has been so.
Helping to cook and do prep was never " work ". It was just part of a fun gig. I have many memories as well.
Sorry about the snoring, Jon. But it was probably all Kevin's doing.

Thanks for the kind words Jon. I always enjoyed your company and I learned quite a few things from you in the kitchen. I wish you were still close enough to attend.
As I have gotten older I've become somewhat more philosophical like most old people. Here goes: Everything changes - nothing stays exactly the same. That things change is not always necessarily bad.. or necessarily good. Most times it's just different. I miss a lot of the crazy times and people who used to attend this event. Yes F & F is quite a bit different now from the old days. More folks attend now who don't hunt or fish mainly thanks to my wife and her circle of friends. It is still fun for me to get the non-outdoors people to try wild game and see how they appreciate it. I guess in the end the reasons for F & F really haven't changed - it's something to do between when hunting seasons end and fishing season starts, it's to try to help people find a little happiness through food and drink, and get a chance to see some people I don't see often enough, to see some smiles and hear some laughter. I think those reasons are still the same and they still happening.
Carry on..

Mr Tim
Like the old saying 'mind over matter'
To those that matter---they don't mind
and those that mind--they don't matter
Glad y'all had a good time
btw--did the 2nd set get there yet??
